Well I am earning on the site I am more then 0.01 earned which is nice but no info on status of the r4 board

Just got the email from Bitmain Warranty saying my s9 b13 hash board is fixed. Total cost including shipping back to me was $250 minus a very nice repair service Beta Testers discount..

The board was repaired in 2 weeks, Love it! Now to see if they include a service report at least outlining what was done to repair it...

Phil, any word on your R4 board?

not yet. I did earn a few bucks with the beta myrig maybe 25-30 lost a lot to fees.

A suggestion to them would be do not send small payments. 1 board hardly earns anything... if they took 10 days and made 1 payment fees would be 0.0002 instead of 4 or 5 x 0.0002 = 0.0008 or 0.0010

I have been exchanging messages with my rig so maybe they will give me repair info today or tommorrow.

they told me to send it to them for repairand today they told me it's damaged and unfixableIt's fastest 300$ i lost in my entire life

where did you send it?

China?

or Colorado, USA

I just got a bill for mine which I sent to Colorado 25 to ship to them 175 to repair 25 to ship back = 225 cost. I am in New Jersey.

They did give me some mining for the 1 board about 50 bucks but could have been more if they did 1 send of btc with 1 fee for 0.0002 instead of 4 smaller payments and 4 tx id payments of 0.0002 all in all an okay experience . Since I did not send to China

Sorry to hear that.Have they said what the damage is? I can think of many things that would make a board unrepairable such as blown internal traces, lifted pads, burnt PCB, etc.Again, this is why Bitmain Warranty (and Bitmain factory service) need to provide a report that says more than 'Fixed" or "Unrepairable"...

Ouch! I just sent a board in to Denver and waiting to hear back. I think mine is repairable as it would hash great for a while then start to show xxx's and then stop. No high HW or heat issues from what I could see, just got tired of restarting the miner every couple hours.

USA

they sent me a refund for 200 and now say board is in a transition process.

Hi Philip,

Thank you for the Paypal payment, it was billed to you by error while in transition process. $200 was fully refunded to you. We are sorry for the confusion you may have experienced!"

So I do not know what will happen next?

Nice! So I take it, in a way was thing as OEM Warranty repair. Sans have having to ship the whole miner over to China that is

Think I'll ask about the bad board from the R4 I got early this year to see if they will do the same... So far UPS still says the repaired s9 board (batch-13) should show up at work Friday

yeah maybe you are right . it did fall in the 6 month time for warranty.

and they are still sending me a little bit of coin as it mines.

this time they let it build up a little higher so the fees are not as bad.

So far the s9b13 replacement board been working perfect for the past 5 days. Note that I said REPLACEMENT - not repaired.

As rather expected they returned a different board than what I sent in, different lot and other ID numbers. If they do things like industrial equipment companies handle it, the bad boards are examined and tested then binned into one of 3 categories:1. Just needs something quick/simple for the repair, fix and return same board2. Can be repaired - send to depot, give core credit, exchange with reworked board from stock for fee3. NFG and cannot be reworked.

Now, #2 would explain why Bitmain Warranty and Bitmain proper do not give us a report on what was was fixed. However... As I have said many times in the past they should at least tell us what typically fails. With the 100's of boards that have been repaired they have to have a list of usual suspects for each type of failure seen.

If I was patient I good get my other one of these set it to 587 wire the good board from here to it. along with 2 boards on it.

I would get 3x 4200 and 1 x 3200 = 15800

now I get 14200 for the two.

well better then 11500 for the 1.5 r4 I was getting before the repair.

I don't mind those numbers. One last thing to do is to remind myrig of the hosting bonus due to me. I think it is about 0.0015 btc I will check that number.

I have an S9 with one faulty board under warranty, the price to send the WHOLE unit back as is ridiculous !!!

I am based in the UK and don't know what to do !!!!

Plus who to send it with, it's not worth the price imo.

I would be better just voiding the warranty and just sending the board (but i doubt they would accept that).

So frustrating and confusing atm.

That sucks......I don't have any problem sending back broken video cards with their crappy 3 YEAR WARRANTY LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
